The state authorities insist that only one confirmed case exists, contrary to reports suggesting multiple new infections.

Commissioner for Health, Henry Ayuk, explained that individuals referenced in the reports are part of routine contact tracing linked to the confirmed case.

He added that the state has not recorded any additional COVID-19 cases and urged residents to rely on official updates while continuing to observe preventive health measures.
